copied!<p>Kind of an old questions, but for Googlers..</p> <p>Actually, it is possible to create a WCF project and host it in IIS without using a .svc file.</p> <p>Instead of implementing your DataContract in your svc code-behind, you implement it in a normal .cs file (i.e. no code behind.)</p> <p>So, you would have a MyService.cs like this:</p> <pre><code>public class MyService: IMyService //IMyService defines the contract { [WebGet(UriTemplate = "resource/{externalResourceId}")] public Resource GetResource(string externalResourceId) { int resourceId = 0; if (!Int32.TryParse(externalResourceId, out resourceId) || externalResourceId == 0) // No ID or 0 provided { WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.NotFound; return null; } var resource = GetResource(resourceId); return resource; } } </code></pre> <p>Then comes the thing making this possible. Now you need to create a Global.asax with code-behind where you add an Application_Start event hook:</p> <pre><code> public class Global : HttpApplication { void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { RegisterRoutes(); } private void RegisterRoutes() { // Edit the base address of MyService by replacing the "MyService" string below RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("MyService", new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(MyService))); } } </code></pre> <p>One nice thing about this is that you don't have to handle the .svc in your resource URLs. One not so nice thing is that you now have a Global.asax file.</p>
